In an Irish Home

Tomorrow, you will receive a precious gift: an extra day.

Because 2012 is a leap year, you will have 24 hours more in your year. Even those of you who pretend that they don’t have enough time, have no more excuse not to do what they want to do.

Make use of this rare opportunity! Don’t go to work! (You can blame it on not knowing about this oddity or on operating on last year’s calendar.)

Instead, use this unexpected extra day to do what you have always wanted to do:

• Learn how to dive.
• Climb a volcano.
• Send a letter to a relative or friend that you haven’t contacted in years.
• Learn the cricket rules.
• Make a barbecue.
• Turn off your phone and read a book.
• Milk a cow.
• Use a bus or a train that you have never used and see where it goes. Walk back.
• Draw…
